My 360 isn't loud... I can't even tell its on most of the time but ok =)
I want a wii, yes. But I don't want one so badly that I'm going to pay $250 for a 700mhz processor. Hell you can get a more powerful computer on ebay way cheaper =)
Then the remotes are $60/ea since you'll basically require a nunchuk addon for each wiimote. Then if you want to play classic games... theres the classic controller. The fact that theres no 3rd party wiimotes and probably won't be for a very long time, if ever... really sucks.
Games are still $50 ea despite way lower production costs and less features...
The games' controls thus far are not 1:1, so essentially when you swing your baseball bat in wii sports you might as well be pressing the A button instead of swinging anyway, just like in 'classic' systems.
If they come out with a sword fighting game or lightsaber dueling game where your movements are mimicked exactly by the sword, then I'll buy one instantly.
I want one... but for now I'll just stick with the superior hardware and game selection of my 360 until all the hype settles and nintendo lowers the price.
If you add everything up, lets see what happens:
Wii:
$250 - console
$40 - extra wiimote
$20 - extra nunchuk
$100 - two games
----
$410 total
Xbox 360:
$300 - console
$30 - extra controller
$110 - two games (depends what you get, some are $60, some are $50 or less.)
----
$440 total
So theres a $30 difference in the end essentially, and Wii doesn't even support HD displays. And if you want more than 2 players then the difference actually reverses in cost. If the total cost of Wii drops $100 (or a 1:1 game comes out) I'll definitely grab one, until then, I can wait.
Now there are some benefits for some people. You get built-in wireless with Wii for example. For me thats not a big deal.

no one of my friends understand the rules

As spoken for the other games, there are less or more realistic and make
a lot of fun playing.

I had just Nintendo systems until the N64 (N64 included). Then I bought the PS2 and I was very disappointed of it, because it crashed and was slow at loading... . I paid 999Euros for it, damn that was a fault. I'll never pay so much again for a console. I don't think that I'll every buy a console anymore. After 2 years or such I go back to my PC because all games become boring for me. If I could get my whole money back except for NES and N64 I would be rich and happy.
bye,
Daniel

I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!dracflamloc wrote: If you've ever used the xbox 360 controller, its basically the most comfortable controller ever made. Its ultra-smooth and conforms right to my hands. You can even plug it into your PC.
The Xbox Controllers are the best ... i like it because it is the right size for my hands. The PS 2 controllers hurt my hands and it is the reason i have a XBOX and planning to buy an XBOX 360

XBOX RULES!!!
